Cons
you have to fit with this specific culture. straight talking is frowned upon and diplomacy is favored. people are very nice, but they will not tell you in a straightforward way if you are off track - the emphasis on diplomacy means that it is tough to know where you stand. if you want to progress within the company there is very little balance and a lot of time away from home. nike is the priority and there is very little room for anything else in your life. i left a few years ago but there were not a lot of women in senior management. even though i believe that entry level starts out at 50/50 in terms of ratio men to women, the highest levels of senior leadership weren't over 25%. the dropoff is concerning. i don't know if that has changed since i left though. overall, it seemed that if you were in with the powers that be, then you were set, seemingly regardless of your actual contributions. if you were not in favor with the right people, your work didn't matter. also people changed jobs so frequently, it seemed that if you are concerned about making long term decisions it might not be helpful to your career. or alternatively, you were likely to end up holding a role and cleaning up for someone who made short sighted decisions that made them look good, but then the next person had to clean up and the next person didn't look so good because the bad decision maker was already on to a bigger job.
